Benjamin Harrison – $24.8K Indianapolis/Carriage

Former President Benjamin Harrison’s home was more than a place to sleep in for him and his family. His house was also the place from where he made his speeches while he was campaigning for the presidency! Harrison was one of the pioneers of what is now called “front-porch speeches.” Do keep in mind that his house didn’t even have a porch when he was campaigning. Harrison’s home cost $24.8K, which is equivalent to $5666K today. Harrison was President from 1889 to 1893 and vehicles were not a thing then. Instead, people used carriages, and Harrison’s own carriage was still in his house. This house is now a museum and has undergone restoration work several times throughout the decades.
